Sprucing Up Your Look

4 Areas Of The Face Where You Can Use Dermal Fillers

by Tammy Tucker

If you are dissatisfied with the appearance of your face, dermal fillers can help improve the appearance of the areas that you are concerned about. Dermal fillers are an injectable substance that can restore volume to sagging or thin areas of the face.

Depending on the area that you treat and the amount of fillers that you use, you can expect your results to last anywhere from 6 to 18 months. Dermal fillers have a multitude of uses and can be used in numerous portions of the face. Here are four areas of the face that you can enhance with dermal fillers.

1. Your Lips

Perhaps your lips have lost volume as you have gotten older, or maybe you have always yearned for fuller lips. Dermal fillers can help you achieve the plump lips that you yearn for. One of the advantages of using dermal fillers to enhance the lips is that the fillers tend to yield soft, natural looking volume. Different fillers yield different results, so discuss your options with your doctor to make sure you are happy with your results.

2. The Nose

A rhinoplasty (also known as a nose job) isn't the only procedure that can help you change the appearance of your nose. Dermal fillers are a non-surgical way to change certain details of your nose. Talk to your doctor to decide if dermal fillers or a more in-depth procedure is best for your situation.

If you want your nose to appear fuller or more contoured in certain areas, dermal fillers can help you alter the appearance of your nose so that it meets your expectations. Your doctor can also use dermal fillers to change the size and shape of your nose's tip, bridge, or hump. You can even use it to change the look of your nostrils.

3. Any Area of the Face with a Scar

It is common for scars to leave a recessed mark on the face. If you have scars on your face, dermal filler injections can help you plump these areas so that your scar is less noticeable. 

4. In and Around the Cheeks

Patients who have wrinkles or creases in their cheeks are terrific candidates for dermal fillers. The fillers will add volume to these trouble spots so that your face regains a more youthful appearance.

You can also use dermal fillers for semi-permanent contouring. If you wish that your cheek bones were more pronounced, your doctor can strategically place the injections so that your face obtains a more sculpted appearance.
